"He has brought to bear upon a wide field of human experience a sagacious and penetrating mind, and his sermons are therefore always highly suggestive and interesting. On almost every page one finds remarks which are evidently the result of original thought, hints which surprise one by their ingenuity and novelty. Though the language is hardly eloquent in the highest sense of the word, yet, considering that these were, we believe, extempore sermons, it maintains a high level of beauty and lucidity, and occasionally rises into grandeur.. But we have some criticisms to make. Mr. Brooks seems to us, in the first place, to be more acute than profound, more ingenious than penetrating. His thought is not always quite clear, and it is never deep... Mr. Brooks's whole treatment of religion is too fanciful and casual; he does not, in these sermons at least, show that he is penetrated by the truths with which he deals and the principles by which he explains them. Each sermon gives one the impression that the preacher has had to look for his subject-it has not found him; and when he has got it, instead of going at once to the deep underlying religious meaning of it, he has let his fancy, and his wit, and his sagacity play round it; and he thus gives us much that is valuable, much that is wise, much that is ingenious and thoughtful, but he does not strengthen the foundations of religious thought or add to the great principles by which men's moral lives are guided."-Spectator, lvii. 1319.

"If grown-up people can be tempted, as doubtless they can, to run off to the colonies in the way that school-boys are tempted by stirring narratives of adventure to run off to sea, this must be a very dangerous book. Lady Barker, indeed, gives some express cautions on the subject, but the whole tone of her book is very exhilarating. We may express our implicit confidence in Lady Barker's descrip tions, which are tinged with something of couleur de rose, but not with more than comes from health and high spirits. We find this book full of a singular interest and charm."-Specator, xliii. 591.
